Data Science and Business Analytics is an online MBA program offered by NMIMS Mumbai. It is an 18 month-long program. I have a few friends who are pursuin this course. Their experience with the program has been quite good. The course is delivered mainly in two parts, i.e. learning videos on the platform and live sessions conducted by the professor during the weekend. The classes cover a wide range of topics. The live sessions featuring many reputed faculties and industry experts help in solving doubts.

The evaluation is done through Internal Assessment/Case Study and a term-end examination for each course in the program. This course is great if you want to gain skills and knowledge in the field of AIML.

This is a faster and much more focused way rather than joining the CBA program.
